I think he's referencing that Ray Comfort has been known to dishonestly edit questions and responses to make his interview subjects look bad:

Ray Comfort.
And his twink, Kirk Cameron, are both aggressive liars. They lie incessantly.
They deliberately resort to dishonest tricks and tactics, even when the truth would better serve them.
They are bad people.

But it doesn't address what Ray Comfort is doing when he deliberately changes the voiceover to make it appear that the people are answering a different question.
Do you think I left that part out of my challenge on purpose?

When I made that challenge, I was thinking more of Patty McCormack, than I was Ray Comfort.

Dishonest? Video entitled “public reaction to evolution’s wildest theories”
First theory: dinosaurs farted themselves to death because of their creation of methane.
There is no such theory. So the title should be public reaction to evolution’s non existent theories.
I quit watching after that.

Nonetheless, the issue of Ray Comfort was brought up, and I am curious to know what you think of his tactics.

Kinda obvious, isn't it?

And although we don't know the whole story, it looks from here that he was being deceptive.

Ray's video does have a redeeming quality though:

Post 168

It's a redeeming feature that he got it wrong?

And why wait until the scientists came? Why not just create bananas like that in the first place?

All in God's time.

Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

My favorite example is oil embedded into God's creation, to be discovered in God's time.

And yet, you think that the theory of evolution, something obviously concealed by God, is the work of the devil.

Double-standard much...

  • Do you think that a deceptive apologist brings people closer to christianty, or rather push them away?
  • Assuming the deception works - would you like it that people become christians based on deception?
  • Does it makes you more certain of you believe, that apologists need deception for defending or spreading christianity?

Who said the goal of a deceptive apologist has anything to do with Christianity?

God wanted us to coat his planet in smog?
